TL;DR Summary

Alec Baldwin faces a felony involuntary manslaughter charge after a grand jury indicted him in connection with the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust." The indictment provides prosecutors with two alternative standards for the charge, based on negligent use of a firearm or causing death without due caution. Baldwin's defense attorneys plan to fight the charge, which carries a potential prison sentence of up to 18 months. Separately, the trial against "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is set for February, and could offer insights into the prosecution's approach and potential witness testimony for Baldwin's case.
